Ah, so your version of libgl1-mesa-dri doesn't have non-KMS support. Upstream Mesa dropped it in 8.0. > Also, adding video=radeonfb:off did nothing but make my screen darker > and disable my brightness hotkeys, and there was no change in the > error messages, so I removed the line.

However, note that KMS doesn't support suspend/resume on PowerPC laptops yet. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
